Georgiana Scott Design

The weather has been great again over the weekend so I spent a few hours relaxing in the sun on Saturday. I have a nice Indo (=Eurasian) tan, I was surprised that after half an hour I could see an amazing difference already when I moved my ring. A ring by designer Georgiana Scott that I bought at Fenwick on November eight last year.

That day I went to Bond Street with CS. to shop for xMas gifts. She wanted to buy some quality tights so we ended up at Fenwick and while she was at the counter to pay for her things I had a look around the jewellery section. I was only browsing and not thinking of buying anything but I instantly fell in love with this ring and showed it to CS.

Although I was in doubt about spending money, I bought it and never regretted that I did. I wanted to have something nice for me: a treat, but I also wanted to buy something from the money my dad left me, something special from him. Ever since that day, I’ve received nothing but compliments and I’m happy that I listened to my gut feeling.

The ring has five loose rings with different widths around the main centre ring which also holds them all together. When I move my hand you can hear the soft jingling sound of the loose rings, like mini-bangles. There’s only two of these in the world: it seems to be a unique collection especially designed for Fenwick not available anywhere else.

It puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it jingle…

Kew Gardens

The weather has been amazing over the weekend, last Saturday I lost internet connection for twelve hours while I had to work on stuff. It made me realise that I spend way too many hours at my desk because I still ended up retouching pictures for a client while I’d promise myself not to work and go out for a few. The same happened on Sunday, I really wanted to finish retouching the forty pictures from their new summer collection. The sooner I finish it the sooner it will be online and live. So yes a bit of expediency is involved as well but who can blame me, I’ve worked hard to get results…

But Sunday I decided to bring my Mac and my Wacom tablet and make use of the garden facilities of friends so I could work outside and enjoy the sun and a glass of wine too along with some mouth-watering delicate tea-time treats… English sandwiches with ham/bacon/egg, turkey/chicken/avocado and of course one with smoked salmon *a feast!* On Monday I’d promised myself a day off since it was Spring Bank Holiday (last Monday in May) in the UK. I’d planned to visit Kew Gardens because it’s something I’ve always wanted to see and the weather was absolutely perfect for this.

So I had an amazing day out! My favourites were the Palm House and the Waterlily House both the hottest and most humid of Kew’s glasshouses but I was thriving in the heat and the humidity, I loved it! I could’ve stayed there all day long guess it’s in the genes *hehe*. I also climbed the eighteen metres high stairs to get a unique birds-eye view of Kew from the Treetop Walkway. Later that day I had a birthday party in Addlestone Surrey. After all the walking the lovely finger food was another welcome treat…
